I know (think) I want to do something related to aviation. I really don't feel like I'd be happy doing anything else.
1. Yes, you should do what you love, with the caveats: 1) it can make you poor, and 2) you don't generally get as much control of the thing as you might think, unless you own the jet.
2. No, there's no need to go all the way to N. Dakota for flight school, unless, perhaps, you're from there or have friends or family there. There are plenty of four-year degree programs down south. I'm sure UND is a great program, but big picture, if you find a Part 141 school at a college, then it'll be safe and well-regulated.
